A+ Certification Study Guide, Sixth Edition (Certification Press) Review

A+ Certification Study Guide, Sixth Edition (Certification Press)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've read a few A+ books recently and trying to find the right balance between too much unneeded information and not enough this books strikes that balance. It has the facts you need and if you need more information- you can easily find it online as well. The accompanying CD is more than adequate as well. If you're more than just basic PC literate I would definitely recommend this book for the tests as well as for better personal knowledge.

Mike Meyers' CISSP(R) Certification Passport Review

Mike Meyers' CISSP(R) Certification Passport
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The CISSP strikes terror for some, since it is not an easy exam to prepare for. I picked up this book because of its portability (I travel so I need something light to carry around), not expecting anything substantial to be inside, only pointers to help me remember some of the material I have already covered. Instead, I found this book to be a gem, a book full of concise material written in style that is uncluttered, presented in a format that is structured. Plus, the book offers online questions for practice. Besides the occasional typo or two, the only fault I can criticize about the book is its Q&A section--it seemed a little too simple for a professional exam.
Overall, I would recommend this book as a good first book to use, to quickly gain as much grasp of the security concepts in as little time as possible, and then slowly graduate to the more substantial offerings from QUE or Wiley.

CompTIA Network+ All-in-One Exam Guide, Fourth Edition Review

CompTIA Network+ All-in-One Exam Guide, Fourth Edition
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Having read through this exam guide cover-to-cover, and having over 20 years of networking, internet, and telecommunications experience, this is a solid book for preparations to take the CompTIA Network+ exam. However, if you don't have significant experience in the area of networking or internet, you will need to increase your chances for passing the new 2009 Network+ exam by visiting other sites on the Internet particularly in the following areas:
* subnetting
* network security
* Local area network concepts
These topics can be researched very easily with an advanced Google search on the listed topics.
The rest of the topics for the 2009 CompTIA Network+ exam appear to be adequately covered. Mr. Meyers did an excellent job on the book, and should be commended.
I rate the book: 8 out of 10.
